Really liked your mermaid display! So much so that I looked up that guy on ebay and bought one similar to yours. Will attempt to do something like it although probably not a chest. A bit more challenging than my skills I'm afraid. Might try mine appearing behind a ship's portal in the wall for a different look. I have a shadow box that might work for the enclosure.

Tipsy, received my Fiji Mermaid today from that ebay seller and wanted to say thanks. Doubt I would have noticed it if not for your post and photos. Kind of fragile item but extremely well packed. Very happy. Now onto figuring out how I'll use my "portal" wall decor to display her.
